      <title>Philosophy of the Saddle - Thoughts on life and our current world from the seat of a bicycle (Sunday, May 10, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://noves.org/resources/Image%201.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NoVES member, Melissa Sinclair, a bike riding, bike packing enthusiast shares with you all a YouTuber, Jethro Jessop, who looks at our world through poetry and philosophy while on bike rides in Sweden.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This is about nature, human nature, and the world we live in economically and politically currently through the eyes of a Brit living in Norway. It helps show how connected we all are to the earth and to each other in every way.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Melissa will share a couple of Jethro's videos and we'll discuss his Philosopy of the saddle. If the reception is well-received, this topic can become a summer series. No bike riding experience needed to fully enjoy this platform.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Ethical Culture's 150th Year - Looking Back and Forward by Randy Best (Sunday, May 17, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://noves.org/resources/Felix_Adler_MET_ap15.81.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Felix Adler founded Ethical Culture 150 years ago as a non-theistic religion dedicated ethics and seeking to improving the human condition.&amp;nbsp; I will read excerpts from his founding address and see how they resonate in the world today and present Ethical Culture's unique ideas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ethical Culture may be small but we are mighty.&lt;/p&gt;
